James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released a new video exposing just how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Vermont.
The video, a sequel to O'Keefe's
"Primary of the Living Dead" in New Hampshire, shows a Veritas agent
entering various voting places around the state of Vermont, giving a
different name each time. Each time, he is given a ballot without
showing an ID, to his disbelief.
In the video, the agent repeatedly requests (but does not take) a Republican primary ballot. As he explained to Breitbart.com:
"We wanted to remind viewers this is not a partisan issue. This is a
situation wherein anyone -- Republican or Democrat -- can exploit the
system."
The new video follows in the wake of a
highly-politicized media attack on Mr. O’Keefe after his exposure of
voter fraud in New Hampshire. Those videos resulted in calls from the
left for O’Keefe’s arrest. However, the videos soon resulted in the New
Hampshire State Senate passing a new bill requiring voter ID.
O'Keefe's new video from Vermont
could not be more timely, coming the day after the U.S. Department of
Justice's civil rights division blocked a Texas photo ID requirement for
voters--to the applause of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed that the law was “discriminatory” against “Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.”
As the Project Veritas video shows,
the current system in Vermont discriminates against actual legal voters,
who must face the prospect of disenfranchisement by those who would
vote in their stead illegally, or have their votes cancelled out by
those voting illegally in place of deceased voters who have yet to be
removed from the rolls. If it is not discriminatory for Vermont citizens
to be required to show ID to get married or buy alcohol, it is
certainly not discriminatory to make them show ID to vote.
“It is a national disgrace that ballots can be given out in the names of dead people,” O’Keefe told Breitbart.com.
“Threats of government intimidation will not stop us from protecting
the integrity of the ballot box. If any state has a system which
encourages ballots to be given out to the wrong person, dead or alive,
we will come to your state, we will film your poll workers, and Project
Veritas will put the videos on YouTube. States like Vermont and New
Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and
clean up their act, once and for all.”
